3. I noticed that Ellen, but that she no longer considers a critical requirement of the ACA which

makes it viable necessary for her vote to support this atrocious tax bill is troubling

4. She's doing it all for drilling

in Alaska, grrr

5. Does she not understand what impact that will have on premiums?

That's a serious question. I wonder if she and others truly don't understand, or if they simply don't care. She seemingly cares about the ACA not going away, so I can't help but wonder if she doesn't grasp the relationship between the mandate and costs.

6. Of course she know. Removing the mandate will jeopardize its viability

[Garrett78]

7. I suspect that's true, in spite of her previous votes to save the ACA.

But some of these Congress critters are simply not very bright.

8. No welcoming airport reception for you this time.

9. She will cave to the special interest groups in Alaska at the expense

of the people of Alaska. Really? Does she know who are the people of Alaska?
